Icons are not visible when installing Qt application on end user machine ( Windows )

[freely]

So what does it mean?
That I can't compile my application ones and install ( deploy ) on another machines with needed windows dlls with the icons seen?
I begin to think the Qt developers make this so as not to make possible to redistribute made programs under GPL?

Hi
The resources were compiled to exe sure there is coded images as hexadecimal numbers in .cpp file

Regards codecs... perhaps it is the problem? I will check the plugins, but No - so Why when I deploy exe to ../Qt/2010.05/qt/bin the icons are visible?

Added after 4 minutes:

I have tried also to deploy with dlls from plugins/codecs , plugins/imageformats, plugins/iconengines but still I can't see icons
I can see only when I install full Qt SDK and I deploy to qt/bin directory
But we understand the end user should not install full Qt SDK so as to use application
why such a problem?>

Are the Qt Dlls and your exe in the same folder?
If not, you need to set the environment path as well.

Sure My dll's and exe and all files are in one bundle(folder)

sure dll's for the application, .exe, application service files installed in one folder to HDD to end user, the application is succeed to launch but icons not visible in places that I have included them

Do you have the following line in your pro file:
RESOURCES = <you_resource_filename>.qrc

Also, can you post one example line from your code, where you are accessing an image?

Hi
Yes, sure
the dlls, exe are in one folder, installed at end user machine to one folder
I have added resources in .pro and also " registered " in main.cpp as it is explainded in Qt reference documentation

Here is the example of image including from file generated by .uic after I've added icons in Qt Designer:

QIcon icon1;
        icon1.addFile(QString::fromUtf8(":/Icons2/Tell a Friends.ico"), QSize(), QIcon::Normal, QIcon::Off);
        actionTell_a_friend->setIcon(icon1);
        actionContact_us = new QAction(MainWindow);
        actionContact_us->setObjectName(QString::fromUtf8("actionContact_us"));
        QIcon icon2;
        icon2.addFile(QString::fromUtf8(":/Icons2/Contact Us.ico"), QSize(), QIcon::Normal, QIcon::Off);
        actionContact_us->setIcon(icon2);
        actionQuit = new QAction(MainWindow);
        actionQuit->setObjectName(QString::fromUtf8("actionQuit"));
...

QIcon icon1;
        icon1.addFile(QString::fromUtf8(":/Icons2/Tell a Friends.ico"), QSize(), QIcon::Normal, QIcon::Off);
        actionTell_a_friend->setIcon(icon1);
        actionContact_us = new QAction(MainWindow);
        actionContact_us->setObjectName(QString::fromUtf8("actionContact_us"));
        QIcon icon2;
        icon2.addFile(QString::fromUtf8(":/Icons2/Contact Us.ico"), QSize(), QIcon::Normal, QIcon::Off);
        actionContact_us->setIcon(icon2);
        actionQuit = new QAction(MainWindow);
        actionQuit->setObjectName(QString::fromUtf8("actionQuit"));
...

[schnitzel]

your app should be deployed like this:

<app>.exe
dlls that you listed before
imageformats\qico4.dll

hope this helps

Try renaming the icons to not include spaces.
